Why did the Republicans block Democrats' attempt to impose windfall profits tax on oil companies?

It means republicans care more about Big Oil than they do the small business owners who lost everything....the republican motto is "pull yourself up by your boot straps" even if you can't afford boots. They are PRETENDING to care about the oil spill. We all know they are happy something is making Obama look bad now.

Fox is absolutely giddy comparing this to Katrina.

I guess so or maybe they will pick up the tab for the rest out of their own pocket.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
